Alright all GRcade peeps, since I couldn't see a proper "say hello introduce yourselves" thread around here for the non-exGR new blood to the board yet I thought I'd start this up, though if there's anywhere else around then feel free to point this in the proper direction.

As for myself I'm looking forward to having a good bit of banter on the board here, having been a long-time lurker on the Games Radar board, since it was a great alternative to doing actual "work". It was a tribute to all you guys in this little corner of the internet that even someone like me, who'd just been laughing away in the background was pissed off and saddened with the way Future was treating this as just another commodity to be merged, and I'm really chuffed that you lot didn't put up with any gooseberry fool and created a home away from home right here.

It was always great to read the continuing adventures of you lads and laddesses on here (Albear's PS3 thread especially comes to mind - is there a copy of that somewhere as it was a genuine internet classic...) and I promise I will be less of an unsocial bastard this time around and join in to this lovely newborn forum. In the meantime, let us taunt "the Man" with our cancelled subscriptions and continuing mentions of s**tting on tits!

I'm a former lurker turned poster and although I'm still not the most active I post a lot more than I used to. I was always intimidated by the more "vocal" people on the forum but these days I'm not to bad with that aspect.

So there you go, don't be afraid to get typing away and most of all just enjoy being here whether that's through actively posting or just reading
